Chris Coleman backs Wales to do well in 2018 World Cup qualifying

Chris Coleman insists that Wales are capable of qualifying for the World Cup after drawing Republic of Ireland, Austria and Serbia.

Wales manager Chris Coleman has said that he is looking forward to leading his team into the qualifying campaign for the 2018 World Cup.

Wales have been drawn against Austria, Serbia, Republic of Ireland, Moldova and Georgia, and Coleman is already thinking about their chances of making it to Russia.

He told BBC Sport: "We're looking forward to it. Some good teams in there. It's never easy going to places like Moldova and Georgia and we know about the quality of Austria, Republic of Ireland and Serbia.

"But we've really improved in the last three years. We fancy ourselves against anyone. You look at other groups - it could have been easier or tougher. There's a lot of football to go in the Euro 2016 qualifiers before this.

Wales have not qualified for a World Cup since 1958.
